You're video was Fantastic, I loved the way you put it all together, the information and interviews were so Professional!
Loved the way you gave names on screens of folks you interviewed, so Cool to find out the history of Seymour and of course about John Couger Mellencamp!
I remember first listening to John on America's Top 10 in the 80s, .... Fantastic singer/songwriter!
An American Legend!
I absolutely will revisit...in fact I’ll be there tomorrow.
This is my hometown
Very cool hometown...
You should have went to Redding elementary that’s my old school
Love this little town! You should visit when the Oktoberfest is in full swing!

I live here
My family lives there.
Enjoyed the video! I eat breakfast at Larrison’s now and then and Kevin Greene at Artistic Impressions is a friend of mine. We have our challenges but Seymour is a great little town full of great people.
Thanks Jaredith. I hear you on small-town challenges; but like things, it's important to focus on the good...at least it is to me. Thanks for watching...greatly appreciated.
Was in the same class as John from 1st grade through Senior. Had a minor fight with him in the 6th grade behind his parent's first house over something he did. The place at the Presbyterian church was called the Last Exit.
That's super interesting Wayne; thanks for sharing your stories. Have you kept in touch with him at all? It would have been so cool to have included an interview with you in the video. Maybe I can come back for part 2. I was searching for people that grew up with him, but had no luck...
@@HistoryMysteryMan When we entered junior high school we went our separate ways. I do remember one time at junior high when he and Baron Hill who later went into politics were going to fight. It was by the gymnasium and the crowd gathered was fairly large. There was the usual chest puffing and trash talk then Baron took a swing and John stepped back claiming he had something in his eye. The fight ended after that.
@@Rastonification That's a really interesting story. Maybe I should interview you sometime...thanks again, Wayne.
Thank you, great Job.
Remember MISS AMERICA 2009 Katie Stam is from Seymour also.
Thanks. I had heard that about Katie after I had done the video. Hope she's doing well; she came from a cool place. HMM
I grew up in the 80’s. I once seen Mellencamp there doing some pics at the roller rink. Man, that seems like a long long time ago now
Love that...thanks! HMM
Thanks for your work, very interesting (I was in Seymour).
I love Seymour! Thanks for watching, Margaret...HMM
Wanna go to some. Time is his house. There. Can you go in.
I’m in 6th grade now
We now have a huge painting of john mellencamp on a side of a building
And of love it!
Graet place
Great little diner...thanks Jennifer...

Hurry back!
Thanks for visiting!!!
You're welcome! I love Seymour. Thanks for watching...HMM
Lmao I live in Seymour! Almost 22 years of my life here 😂
Lacey Thompson Good choice...love Seymour. That street festival in the fall is awesome. Thanks for watching Lacey!
LMAO? Not sure what you mean by this?
Seymour has it's moments lol other moments it kinda sucks 😂
Lacey Thompson “It” doesn’t suck; it’s only your mindset that sucks. Chances are, if your world sucks here, it’ll suck there...or wherever you roam.
Seymour sucks
It is delicious
Absolutely! Thanks...
If you visit Seymour. Try Larrisons Diner it's the best. Sunshine cafe. Cracker barrel. Applebees. Chili's.
More burger joints than not.
Yeah cracker barrel is awesome here
Hello every one from Seymour - Seymour in Victoria Australia.
Hello Seymour in Victoria Australia...nice to meet you. Thanks for watching!
Where was roller skating rate where. Was his house wanna go some time
Hometown of Larry Crane as well!
He was an original Mellencamp band member?
@@HistoryMysteryMan Yes, he's the redhead that you see in all of his old videos. He left John after Big Daddy. Mellencamp was never quite the same after Larry left. Larry is incredible and a great guy as well!
@@Spaceman1968 Larry would be an interesting interview. I wonder how I'd get in touch with him?
@@HistoryMysteryMan I might be able to help.
@@Spaceman1968 If he'd be interested, I'll invest the trip to Indiana (if that's where he still is). Thanks...
My classmate harper Hackman is related to John and I go to st John's sauers he made a music video there
Interesting...thanks for sharing that! HMM
Is. The roller shake. Place. Still there. 😊
Rink is still there last time I looked, but closed down and deteriorating. Thanks...HMM
I can see that it would for you Beeotch, as I believe a lot of things do in your universe. But I like Seymour, so it doesn’t suck for me.
Thank you for doing this video.. I am from Seymour, went to school there, and remember John being downtown, and saw him at the local national guard armory on his first record celebration. Small towns have charm for sure.
@@hoosierdaddy2308 Those are some great memories to take with you...thanks again!
@@HistoryMysteryMan absolutely. Will you come to Seymour again? Maybe attend the Octoberfest? It's huge because of the massive German decedents in Seymour who worked on the railroad, etc. I used to be in the history group.
@@HistoryMysteryMan My best friend is Kevin Larrison from the diner. I worked there as well several years as a waiter and dishwasher when needed.
@@hoosierdaddy2308 Are the still going to have Octoberfest?
I grew up in Seymour with my 7 brothers. I love that city, however, after graduating high school and going to college I had to go to a close big city to get a high paying job. My younger brother Lynn was in Seymour Senior High School with John Mellencamp and I was in advanced choir with his older brother Joe, which was quite a good singer in his own right.
Awesome...I was just in Seymour a few weeks ago. For me, the town has a lot of charm. Mellencamp sure keeps coming up in coversations. No one's music ever captured the heart, sole and grit of small town America as well as Mellencamp. Terrific story teller..."Troubled Man" has become one of his classics. How do you like the big city? Thanks for sharing your stories here. HMM
Some day i am going to get back
You forgot about one person miss America 2009
Samantha Spangle I plan to come back to Seymour and do more...thanks for watching.
History Mystery Man no problem man and ok
they burn the fries but the tenderloin is good
I like a little 'burn' on my fries...thanks for subscribing Jody!
Why do keep saying seymour indiana? Half way through we know where it's at.
Maybe I had to keep reminding myself...
Its for dramatic effect
I stopped watching your video about Seymour because you made it mire about John Mellencamp instead of Seymour.😒
Well, it is his hometown! But, you seen he talked to a guy about the history of the town and, he then, that guy he was talking to uttered my mom’s hometown where she was born and raised, Lawrenceburg, IN and, he’s talking and showing Larrison’s Diner! I remember walking up there from time to time to eat when, I lived there for a short time!
